A Teen's Take

POMEROY–I grew up watching and listening to my grandpa’s stories, wishing I could stay that way forever. I also wish everyone overseas will make it home, that good dogs never got old, and that summers are never boring. I wish people wouldn’t judge, football season lasted all year, and friends stayed in touch. I wish kids were raised like they used to be, Mondays felt like Fridays, and the best teachers never retired.

When I was little, the only things that mattered to me were my family and whether or not I got a snack. But it is amazing how our thoughts and actions change as we get older. Now that I am in high school, we are taught that our opinions matter and we can make a difference. Change can be positive and as long as we keep the important things in sight, I think we’ll be just fine.

I hope everyone is enjoying the slightly warmer weather and getting excited for spring. I know I am. Go Pirates!
